Disc Fatality
Weight: 100kg
Shape: Box
Colour: Royal Blue with White tinges
Dimensions: 98 X 96 X 43
Motors: 2 X S24-800 Mags powered by 4 X 24 V NiCad Battle-Packs
Wheels: 4 X Tyres with Foam and vulkalon rubber
Armour: 7.5mm Titanium/Vanadium
Speed: 15 mph
Ground Clearence: 3mm all around
TC: 0 (Seriously, isn€™t there anything that doesn€™t have TC of 0?)
Weapon: 42lbs Laser-Cut Horizontal spinning Disc with 2 X Hardox Steel Teeth (curved and a bit blunt to cause maximum damage) powered by a LEM-130 Lynch Motor spinning at 5300RPM. This is deadly within 1 and a half seconds. This should also give as much as 52 KJs and enough to penetrate through almost anything.
Srimech: Invertible
Strengths: The lethal and devastating weapon, the Storm 2-like pushing power. Has a load of shock proofing inside to help it protect itself.
Weaknesses: As usual, its wheels are exposed a tiny bit from the top, and it€™s prone to be abducted by aliens? :rofl:

Sorry, but thats false. :proud: Team Bravehearts FBS, Whirligig 4.5, has over 100kJ in its hits but cant cut through Hardox, or even thick titanium without a few blows.
The same can be said for many other high kJ disc weapons.
Dont go making claims youre definitely unsure of. :wink:

What do you mean by 2x snowplow-like scoops, one on the front, and one on the back. These have a little bit of vertical mobility, so the wheels can touch the ground
I just dont get that. And in addition, I may be wrong, but depending on higher knowledge on Bosch 750w motors, I think that your robot will have around the 4hp or 14hp mark - try LEM130s at 36V, as for certain you will have 18hp.
I am trying for pushing power on Minesweeper.
The scoops have a little bit of vertical movement so the wheels can touch the ground and have 0mm ground clearance at front and back without being stranded.
Roveress hasnt got any power for the weapon, plus itll be overweight. You cant get 5 x LEMS into a heavyweight
My renewed Cyrilium:
Cyrilium Mach 3
Weight: 100kg
Shape: Mortis (S4)
Colour: Gold
Dimensions: 95cm x 65cm x 25cm
Motors: 4x S28-400 Magmotors, running off 5x 24V NiCad Battlepacks.
Motivation: 4 Aluminum Boron Carbide wheels with rubber tyres.
Armour: 5mm Hardox
Speed: 21mph
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front, and 5mm at back and sides.
Turning Circle: 0mm
Weapon 1: A pneumatic axe, run off of a 2kg C02 tank at 220psi, that can come down with over 2500kg of force, and can pierce 2mm titanium.
Weapon 2: A lifting arm-shaped flipper, powered by another 2kg C02 tank, it can lift up to 175kg.
Srimech: The flipping arm
Roveress upper Jaw runs off of a 2kg Nitrogen tank, and is supposed to stop opponents from moving, not crush them.
Motors for Roveress: 4x S28-400 Magmotors powered by 5x NiCad Battlepacks.
Armour for Roveress: 7mm Titanium/Vanadium alloy.
Psi?
1000psi.
1: Theres a rule against double posting. How do you think TRIPLE posting is going to be taken? The non-edit rule takes place after 10 minutes, you know.
2: You should have included the psi BEFORE putting in the stats.
Minesweeper: Nothing really wrong with it, I am guessing the scoop is like the one on behemoth which is a good idea. The only remark I have there, is why not make the entire robot of the same armour? give it 4 or 6 mm Hardox all round instead of that mish-mash of various types of armour. In real life we want to keep the amount of materials down as well, from a maintenance and repair point of view.
Roveress: make it a little bit wider, like 70cm, and I think it is in good shape. For the srimech a lem130 is way overkill though, just make the robots top a bit rounded so it rolls over easily and use a Bosh with a gearbox to power the arm, it saves on batterypower and is much more sensible.
Cyrilium Mach 3 : Make the robot higher. There is no way in those dimensions that you can fit 2 2kg bottles, pneumatics, lifter and axe mechanism, and 4 magmotors and batteries.
I must say your stats are improving though, keep it up.
Thanks Leo.

For axe power, it might be better/more technical to give tip force than estimates of what it can do, although having said that I dont usually bother.
Otherwise, as much as it pains me to say this, those are actually fairly good :proud:
Wha...
The world is collapsing. Mark Elam just made good vapourbots.
*faints*
Cyriliums axe can come down with over 2500kgs of force.
No it cant.
In all fairness, it probably could, but Mark hasnt given the mechanism or anything so we dont know.
Beta could hardly manage 3000kgs, and it doesnt have a flipper.
Great! Mark had put himself among the great ast last...and then he plunged straight back down again!
Hmm...I was more thinking that Gravity (3) had 4ish tons of lifting force with its only weapon, and if you consider an axe with another weapon, disregarding questions of armour and other weight constraints, and taking into account the fact that the force will be concentrated on a very small area...two and a half tons begins to look possible. Perhaps not in Marks design, thatd be a lot of dedication to the weapon, but its possible.
That concludes my useless mystic naive post of the day :P

And Beta needs a steel floor arena to pull that stunt off with magnets.
2,5 Tonnes is way too much. My real robots with axes had between 450kg and 1000kg of force, the best so far Obsidian with 800kg but it is going to 1000kg probably next week. Then its in THz territory, although probably not as effective. But even on 800kg piercing 3mm Ti should be very doable, depending on the axe shape.
Joey, your reasoning is not wrong, you could easily do a 3 tonnes FP axe if you wanted to but instead of hitting your opponent the axe will swing the robot up and all you hit is air. That stupid Newton guy again with its laws of action and reaction. A flipper has less problems with that since the opposite reaction is directed to the floor, which doesnt usually move.
(Message edited by leorcc on May 01, 2008)
the axe is shaped like Hydras from robot wars series 7.
The Cyriliums axe comes down with over 2500kgs of force does not apply anymore.
Therefore, I am now in the great ast last.

Ah, thanks for that Leo...you live and learn :proud:

:rofl::rofl::rofl:
Hydra and Killerhurtz use 2 totaly different systems of powering the axe, which one is it?
The Hydra system.
Which would give me ???kgs of force?
Hydra uses a standard ram 63mm diameter, 250mm stroke, so about 500kg on 16 bars on the forward stroke and 470kg on the return. That with a decent axe head is not bad. Not THz, but not bad.
Hydras was the same as used by Shunt if I remember correctly...Killerhurtz had the ram going onto a chain drive to the axe (?) and Terrorhurtz is rack and pinion.
...Speaking of rack and pinion, would you be able to have a rack and pinion pneumatic drive on a disc? The way I was thinking is that youde use the pneumatics to spin it up really fast, and then the ram would contact a switch which would disengage it, and a motor could be used to keep it spinning. Would that work?
Hydras axe was indeed based on the same specs as Shunt.

Would it work? Yes. Would it be practical? No. Why? it only adds a lot more weight to your robot and overcomplicate things. You would need some kind of clutch system to engange and disengage, which is always prone to failure. If you want to accelerate, why not place a row of magnets on the disk and make the entire disk a brushless motor? That is lighter and less cumbersome.
I thought as much, lol. I was also wondering how Id make it work for multiple spinups as well :proud: but that brushless motor idea sounds interesting, Ill have to do some more research on that.
A motor used as a weapon. Lovely. :proud:
It is done before, check the robot on my profile. Its just smaller, but there is no reason it wouldnt work for a heavy. You will need some serious battery power though.
Wasnt Warheads bowl weapon just one giant motor with teeth? :lol:
Ninjoid Evo
Weight: 100kg
Shape: Tornado Mer with a skirt around the bottom.
Colour: Black, with red on top.
Dimensions: 95cm x 95cm x 25cm
Drive: 4x S28-400 Magmotors powered by 5x NiCad Battlepacks.
Locomotion: 4 foam filled wheels
Armour: 7.5mm Titanium/Vanadium alloy
Speed: 20mph
Ground Clearance: 0mm with skirts, and 5mm without skirts.
Turning Circle: 0m
Weapon: A 1.3m 136kj 3000rpm titanium blade, powered by the Combatparts 4-mag gearbox with 4 S28-400 Magmotors. The robot has lots of shockproofing to counteract the force of the blade.
Srimech: The force of the blade can cause it to right itself after a flip. Sort of like Mauler, except it cannot be stranded on its back.
(Message edited by corsair_lightning on May 01, 2008)
How can the blades force alone right it? Also, you continually seem to miss out drive motors for your weapons.
